    just regular guys, probably have a dime on the game, plus their buddies, they probably get together and tell their referee friend "hey rig it for us a little" and the refs say ok, i'll try, but i don't want to make it too obvious. lmao

    Theyve interviewed several of the subs, one was fired for being a ref in a Saints game where he admitted online he was a diehard Saints fan, another is a professional poker player (yea Im sure he doesnt have a few bucks on the games), absolutely none have experience even at NCAA Div 1 level...absolutely insane to have these guys come in and ref the NFL

    I didnt even know the refs could have a "lockout"...penetrates sakes every league, every ref, fuckin every parking attendant and concession stand worker has their own locked out union lately wtf is goin on in

    Heres a letter the NFLPA sent to the league demanding they end the lockout with the reg refs and get these jokes off the field:

    Here's that letter, in full:
    "The NFL Players Association Executive Committee is calling on you to end the lockout of our referees. We believe there is substantial evidence that you have failed in your obligation to provide as safe a working environment as possible.
    Your decision to lock out officials with more than 1,500 years of collective NFL experience has led to a deterioration of order, safety and integrity. This affirmative decision has not only resulted in poor calls, missed calls and bad game management, but the combination of those deficiencies will only continue to jeopardize player health and safety and the integrity of the game that has taken decades to build.
    As we predicted and explained to you weeks ago, the removal of the veteran officials from regular season games left a group of your replacements who have proved to be incapable of keeping pace with the speed of the game. Coaches and players have complained of numerous errors and failures including: erratic and missed calls on egregious holds and hits, increased skirmishes between players and confusion about game rules. Many replacements have lost control of games due to inexperience and unfamiliarity with players and rules.
    The headlines are embarrassing: a scab working a game despite having been on the payroll of one of the teams, another who was assigned to referee a team he publicly supported on Facebook, and one who is a professional poker player when you propose even more stringent player rules on gambling.
    It is lost on us as to how you allow a Commissioner to cavalierly issue suspensions and fines in the name of player health and safety yet permit the wholesale removal of the officials that you trained and entrusted to maintain that very health and safety. It has been reported that the two sides are apart by approximately $60,000 per team. We note that your Commissioner has fined an individual player as much in the name of “safety.” Your actions are looking more and more like simple greed. As players, we see this game as more than the “product” you reference at times. You cannot simply switch to a group of cheaper officials and fulfill your legal, moral, and duty obligations to us and our fans. You need to end the lockout and bring back the officials immediately.
    We are all men who love and respect this game and believe that it represents something beyond just money. For our teammates, our coaches and our fans who deserve better, vote to end this lockout now."
    Sincerely,
    Domonique Foxworth, NFLPA President
    Charlie Batch, NFLPA Vice President, Pittsburgh Steelers
    Cornelius Bennett, NFLPA Former Players Board of Directors Chairman
    Drew Brees, NFLPA Vice President, New Orleans Saints
    Brian Dawkins, NFLPA Vice President
    Scott Fujita, NFLPA Vice President, Cleveland Browns
    Matt Hasselbeck, NFLPA Vice President, Tennessee Titans
    Brandon Moore, NFLPA Vice President, New York Jets
    Jeff Saturday, NFLPA Vice President, Green Bay Packers
